Middle Georgia State University (MGA) plans to launch a Master of Education and Instruction with a literacy focus this fall. The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved the program at its Tuesday, February 13, meeting.
“This degree will offer students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge, skill, and vision as teachers and educational leaders,” said Dr. Rhonda Amerson, chair of MGA’s teacher education department. “The program is built for existing certified teachers to upgrade their knowledge and skills and will provide an upgrade to the level of their teaching certification. This will qualify them for a higher salary. Every course in the program has a focus on literacy instruction."
